The speculation about this year's gaming ceremony was significant, particularly after host Geoff Keighley shared an enigmatic image of a strange statue. The mystery has been revealed. Larian Studios is developing a brand-new Divinity game.
Announced as Divinity, the game was debuted with a bold trailer packed with memorable imagery, from a figure engulfed in flames to an orgy and the very opening of infernal gates.
Not the Expected Sequel
For those expecting Divinity Original Sin 3, this is not that. Larian warned that a follow-up to its venerated RPGs is not currently in development.
Nevertheless, the developer referred to this new Divinity as a next chapter of the main series. This choice of words implies that the team might be building a faster-paced experience rather than another tactical title. For now, it remains theory, as only a announcement clip is available.
The Legacy of Divinity
The Divinity series is widely praised and arguably it kicked off the contemporary revival of crunchy computer role-playing games. These games are celebrated for detailed worlds, branching plots, and flexible progression—qualities that subsequently found massive success in games like Baldur's Gate 3.
While its world is traditional swords and sorcery, what really distinguishes Divinity apart is the remarkable agency bestowed upon the player.
Where many modern RPGs have simplified options, Divinity is full of specialized paths you can achieve with a specific type of character with a specific history of choices.
The series is also famously open-ended, enabling players to experiment both in story and combat. Virtually all objectives can be solved in diverse methods, frequently in surprising fashion.

- Or, you could bypass a challenge by moving environmental hazards in a clever way.
More to Come
It is these creative systems that allow people to hail games like Divinity Original Sin 2 as among the greatest role-playing games of all time. Now, the RPG community can get ready for a new entry in this legendary franchise.
